Absolutely ridiculous nonsense. Policing harmless behavior around us is what's actually antisocial, but sure I'm the reactionary for maybe suggesting to have a little kindness and patience for the people in your community. Being kind to each other is actually reactionary now

Policing harmless behavior

IT'S NOT HARMLESS! Subjecting people to excessive stimulation in an enclosed space when they're just trying to get home from their long ass day at work is harmful, even if only in a very minor way. The same way me letting my dog shit on your yard is harmful. Yeah sure it ain't going to kill you but it's going to have a negative effect on your day.

Being kind to each other is actually reactionary now

I mean, the people who want to listen to music on the bus could be kind by buying some earbuds? Why is the feelings of the music enjoyers the only ones who matter here? What about the people who just want a quiet ride back to their house? Do their feelings not matter?

Why don't they need to have any kindness or patience for people like me?

Apparently this user thinks people who like to blast music on the bus are the only people who need their preferences considered.

Because you think they should be summarily executed for being slightly annoying

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

I don't think people should be executed for being annoying at all, OP was clearly being hyperbolic, even if excessively so.

I do think blaring music in enclosed spaces exceeded "mildly annoying" into "majorly annoying and actually uncomfortable to some people" and therefore is dickish behavior that should be discouraged.

Please actually respond to what I am saying here and don't just brag about how awesome you are for having the "objectively correct" opinion or kindly fuck off.

Actually I'd be fine with them being grounded and having their devices taken away.

I'm basically a moderate centrist.
